About 1 Dennis Road
1 Dennis Road is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Kempston, Bedford, Bedford (MK42 7HF). It has a recorded floor area of 51 m² (around 549 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2012) shows a C (score 70). When first surveyed in July 2009 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. The latest certificate is from May 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. At 51 m² this is the 8th smallest of 31 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 41–110 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 31 units on file. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 51 m² it sits well below the postcode median (79 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £177,000 is 38.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£233/sq ft) was about 43.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
